The past few years have brought lots of good news for anyone who considers coffee a vice. Scientists have discovered that various compounds in coffee can help fight a number of diseases including Alzheimer's, and now a new study is putting even more weight behind the notion that coffee is very good for you.
The work, which was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that not only does coffee battle Parkinson's but also another incurable brain disease called Lewy body dementia. Conducted by scientists at Rutgers, the study points to the combined effects of caffeine and a fatty acid present in coffee called EHT as potentially playing key roles in disease fighting.
